Macrorick Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Many of my macros begin with the activate command which unfortunately often results in just a flashing task bar icon. As a result, the macro key strokes are played out in the wrong window. How can the activate window command be executed reliably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrorick Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi all, It has been a couple of weeks with over 300 views but no suggestions. Is there no fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monaghana Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Which version of windows are you using and do you have Windows PowerToys TweakUI installed? If XP and you do have TweakUI installed, try the following:- Open TweakUI General Focus Uncheck 'Prevent applications from stealing focus' and try your macro again.

Macrorick Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I am running Windows 7-64 ultimate. I do not believe I have tweak UI installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrorick Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I believe I have overcome this problem by using the mouse to activate or focus the taskbar icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
